These are some photos taken at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show by correspondents from Autoblog.com. Apparently, there wasn’t much information provided at the car show about this new 5 door hatch WRC model. There aren’t any confirmed reports of engine specifications either, but rumors seem to lean toward Subaru keeping their 2.0L platform from the previous WRC sedan.
“We’re completely and utterly dumbfounded. We just got back from the Subie-booth and after rummaging through the press CD for ten-minutes, we found exactly ONE sentence about the Impreza WRC Concept. That sentence reads: ‘The Concept Car, based on the new Impreza, conjures up images of future styling trends for a world rally car.’
That’s it folks. No word on power output or new all-wheel-drive wizardry, but we think it’s safe to assume a blown two-liter flat four sends power to all four wheels via some revised drivetrain software.”
